Reversal (Japanese: きしかいせい Reversal) is a damage-dealing Fighting-type move introduced in Generation II. It is TR21 in Pokémon Sword and Shield and TM134 in Generation IX.
Effect
Generation II
Reversal inflicts damage. Its power is higher when the user's HP is lower.
HP% | Power |
---|---|
HP ≥ 68.75% | 20 |
35.42% ≤ HP < 68.75% | 40 |
20.83% ≤ HP < 35.42% | 80 |
10.42% ≤ HP < 20.83% | 100 |
4.17% ≤ HP < 10.42% | 150 |
HP < 4.17% | 200 |
Reversal cannot cause a critical hit, and its damage is not varied by a random factor during damage calculation.
Generation III
Reversal can now cause a critical hit, and its damage is now varied by a random factor during damage calculation.
Reversal can be used as the second move of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining 2 bonus appeal points if Endure was used in the previous turn. It is also part of a Contest Spectacular combination and will give an extra three appeal points if the move Endure was used in the prior turn.
Generation IV
In Generation IV only, Reversal's power is calculated as follows:
HP% | Power |
---|---|
HP ≥ 67.19% | 20 |
34.38% ≤ HP < 67.19% | 40 |
20.31% ≤ HP < 34.38% | 80 |
9.38% ≤ HP < 20.31% | 100 |
3.13% ≤ HP < 9.38% | 150 |
HP < 3.13% | 200 |
Generation V onwards
Reversal's power is once again calculated as it was prior to Generation IV.
